Summary
Upgrading your business printers with EFI Fiery controllers means you’re investing in superior print management, stunning color precision, turbocharged performance, robust security, and workflow automation that streamlines your operations. In this post, you’ll learn the top 10 reasons why companies like yours choose Fiery, understand which Canon, HP, Epson, Kyocera, and Xerox devices pair best, and finish with a moment-of-truth call to action to elevate your print ecosystem.

1. Absolute Color Precision

Color accuracy isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. Fiery’s color management engine allows you to:

Apply ICC or custom device‑link profiles with pinpoint precision
Ensure visual consistency across digital, offset, and wide‑format machines
Simulate effects—like metallic or coated stock—for reliable proofs

That means your brand colors are reproduced flawlessly, every time, reinforcing trust and professionalism.

Pair Fiery with top-tier presses:

2. Efficient Job Routing & Workflow Automation

Fiery Command WorkStation—and when needed, Fiery Automation—empowers you to:

Create rules: e.g., “Send all business cards to Tray 3, color jobs to Tray 4.”
Automate tasks like imposition, booklet creation, and step-and-repeat.
Track job history, costs, and usage for accountability or client billing.

This frees your team to be creative, not clerical.

Complimenting Devices

Add finishing hardware like the GBC AdvancedPunch™ or Horizon CreaseFolder. With Fiery’s workflows, catalogs, manuals, and booklets are printed, finished, and stacked seamlessly—often without operator intervention.

3. Speed & Performance Gains

Complex PDFs and graphics-heavy jobs can choke ordinary printers—but Fiery changes the game by:

Pre‑flighting and RIPping in advance of printing
Processing jobs simultaneously rather than sequentially
Balancing mixed‑media and mixed-size jobs without pause

The result? Faster turnaround, fewer bottlenecks, and happier users.

4. High‑Volume Scalability & Redundancy

For busy print environments, downtime or overload isn’t acceptable. Fiery offers:

Shared controller setups across devices
Load-balancing and smart queue routing
Built-in failover—if one device is offline, jobs shift elsewhere automatically

This keeps your presses humming and deadlines met, no matter what.

Complimenting Devices

Use a high-volume backup engine like the Canon imagePRESS V1350 or Xerox PrimeLink C9070. With Fiery, orchestrate robust print‑fleet architecture that’s resilient and efficient.

5. Industry‑Leading Security

Security is non-negotiable—especially in health, finance, legal, or government sectors. Fiery supports:

IPsec, OAuth, SNMPv3 and encrypted job storage
User-authenticated secure print release
Firmware integrity and Disable/Enable security options

This gives you peace of mind that sensitive documents are handled safely.

Complimenting Devices

Integrate with devices offering secure print features: Epson WF-C21000, Kyocera TASKalfa 7054ci, or any pull-print-enabled Canon, HP, or Xerox machine. Fiery complements these features with end-to-end protection.

6. Variable Data Printing for Personalization

Fiery makes personalized marketing easy by enabling:

High-speed variable data merges
Dynamic text, graphics, and images per record
CRM or database integration for tailored campaigns

Your custom mailers, labels, invoices, and direct marketing pieces will look professional and unique, every time.

Complimenting Devices

Combine Fiery with the Canon imagePRESS V1350 or Xerox PrimeLink C9070—these tandem teams produce variable IQ campaigns, personalized brochures, and custom labels faster and better than ever.

7. User‑Friendly Color & Finishing Tools

You don’t need a press technician—Fiery’s tools empower anyone to:

Tweak color via curve adjustments and saturation sliders
Manage spot colors with precision using Spot-On libraries
Preview finishing marks, imposition layouts, and commonsense previews before print

Complimenting Devices

Use with the Canon imagePRESS V1350 or Xerox PrimeLink C9070 and intuitive inline finishers—empowering operators to create booklets, brochures, and postcards with minimal training.

8. Cross‑Site Consistency

For multiple offices or external print partners, maintaining uniform output is crucial. Fiery helps you:

Distribute workflow presets, color profiles, and job scripts across locations
Ensure identical output on any Fiery‑enabled device
Minimize re‑RIPping, reproofing, and rework

That means branding stays perfect, no matter where it’s printed.

Complimenting Devices

Deploy Fiery on the Xerox PrimeLink C9070 or Canon imagePRESS V1350 across locations. Share common setups to guarantee brand fidelity no matter which site prints your job.

9. Analytics & Cost Tracking

Fiery Command WorkStation and optional Fiery Analytics provide:

Dashboard insights—job volume, uptime, error trends
Cost-per-job and per-client reporting
Data visualization to identify bottlenecks and optimize resources

Use real data to drive efficiency, reduce waste, and improve profitability.

Complimenting Devices

Include devices like the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dw or Xerox PrimeLink C9070. Fiery’s analytics help you see which press setup gives you the best ROI.

10. Future‑Proof Integration & Upgrades

Fiery evolves with you, offering:

Support for new formats, color spaces, and substrates
Continuous software and firmware updates
Web‑to‑print, MIS, and ERP integrations

Your investment stays relevant, even as print technologies advance.

Complimenting Devices

When you expand into wide-format or label printing, adding devices later—like inkjet plotters or label presses—a Fiery-enabled core ensures seamless integration throughout your print ecosystem.
